The use of a sound recognition system can offer concrete potentialities for surveillance and security applications. The first paper contribution to this research field is represented by a thorough investigation of the applicability of state-of-the-art audio features in the domain of environmental sound rec...
متن کاملThe Cebaf Beam Scraping Monitor*
The Beam Scraping Monitor (BSM) is used to detect small amounts of beam loss in Jefferson Labs Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF). The BSM acts as an early warning system that alerts CEBAF operators when the beam loss exceeds 10 to 20 nA. This allows the CEBAF operators to adjust the beam orbit before beam loss reaches the Beam Loss Accounting (BLA) system threshold (present...
